Model/Year: 2011

Pros: Custom tuned when ordered direct. Durable construction. Superior clickers (no need for tools).
Great control over the wheel

Cons: The LSC could be just a touch more sensitive (I am just splitting hairs at the moment)

Recommendation: A great shock with amazing performance. Both in the small ripples of the terrain as well as the big hits. The shock jut works great. Easy to adjust and most importantly tuned to your bike when you purchase it. I recommend only purchasing new. As each one is made for the bike. So buying second hand (unless it comes off an identical bike) may not be a good idea.
